Wester Coaster
April 2007

Even though I am interested mostly in going to California, this piece could not survive without the other two states. Somehow they will always be fused together in my mind, as an entity and as a set of personalities.

We all talk about wanting to live in different places when we get there, all spread out and speckled up the coast line. But to me, the reality is that we will all end up in the same city, this West Coast dream finally coming true. These possibilities pushed me to make this coast, stuffed and attractive, smashed together with hands ailing from fast heartbeats.

Its immediacy and packed-full quality is important to me. Though I have had this dream for a long time, I don't know when I will be going. But when I do leave, it will look like this. Jumbled and crumpled, soft and laid out in front of me
